ALLIED UNITS

Exported with App Version: v1.50.0 (115), Data Version: v759

From my games so far:

• I struggle to deal with big monsters in the mid board
• If I push, I lose too much too quickly
• If I stay back, I fall behind on primary
• Scourges do work, but often not enough to remove key targets (even with so many lances; but i ds all of them, so this could be a first fix to bring two of them to the board directly)

I’m currently thinking about going to 2000 like this:

• cut Hellions
• add a second Incubi unit
• add a third Talos
• possibly add another Venom

Does that make sense, or would you go in a different direction?

Any input on how to round this out to 2000 (and what I might be missing) would be really appreciated 🙂

Thanks!
